to paraphrase someone else. Neither Lisbon nor Libertas!
Libertas' involvement in the Lisbon Treaty campaign was never about choosing Libertas over something else, it was about arguing the reasons to reject Lisbon. We put forward that choice over the last six months and we got our answer on Friday.

Libertas played a part, a significant one, in the Lisbon treaty campaign but I met far too many good people from all sides of the political divide during the Lisbon campaign to claim credit for the result. And at the end of the day it was the voters who made the final decision, not us.
